I know it’s hard to believe, but it’s damn near February y’all! While here in the US we certainly have much bigger things to think about than Valentine’s Day, I feel like all of us could use a little reminder that love does exist and that it’s important to celebrate that! Let’s love on our …

Happy New Year! 2016 is finally over. It felt like a long drawn out year, a few times making me question whether I was trapped inside the movie Groundhog’s Day. Even though the last cycle around the sun has been full of hardships and tragedies, the plus size fashion community has seen growth and positive …
At the end of the Summer I had a sudden moment of anxiety when I realized that I had not worn many short dresses all season. My legs! How could they have been cooped up for a whole 3 months?! Luckily, the weather has been warm and adorable short plus size dresses from Curvy Sense …
It’s that time of year. The deals are hot, and my pocket book still isn’t ready. The turkey has been eaten and hopefully we’ve all donated something to our friends protecting our water in North Dakota. Now we’re preparing for the holidays (or just general Winter madness, whatever you’re into). It is already rough finding …

Can we discuss what a bummer it is to feel anxious about buying a bridal gown or plus size dresses? Weddings are meant to be a fun celebration of love, and every time I’ve been told someone wants me in their wedding my immediate thought is “oh gosh, they don’t know how difficult buying a …
With everything that’s been going on in the world lately, I’ve been having a hard time writing about fashion. There’s a line from a poem by Kim Selling’s “Fat Bottomed Girls” that says “my body is political, and you never voted for this shit”. I’m feeling that pretty intensely, not just about me and my …
Look at all of these adorable photos!!!! I got the opportunity to shoot with Society+ this week and it was a blast! As most of you know, I’m pretty vocal about my displeasure with a lot of plus size retailers. I’m not a fashion Goddess, I’m just a babe running a little ootd blog who …
It’s Fourth of July weekend here in the US, and I am in my element. Sunshine, lakes, and BBQ are always going to make me feel at home. The Summer months are hot, and humid, and everyone’s attitude around what we “should” wear seems to relax a bit. I can wear my swimsuit next to …
